Teton Sunrise, stained glass mosaic, 14.5"x25" (16"x26.5"), 2014 ~SOLD
In
2013 my partner Kyle and I ventured on an epic trip to Wyoming. For
about 10 days we explored Yellowstone National Park as well as Teton
National Park. We only had 3 days in the Tetons but we made the most of
it. We backpacked Cascade/Paintbrush Canyons and did a few other day
hikes as and shorter hikes which allowed us to experience the Tetons
from all different directions and during different times of day. Each
view, each moment was unique and breathtaking as everything in this area
seems to be.

On our
last day, we woke up early to check out the sunrise over Jenny Lake. It
was spectacular as seen in Kyle's Photo. I combined that memory of
those sweet, sunrise colors with the view of the Tetons from Cascade
Canyon where we camped with the Youghiogheny
head glass which I wanted to incorporate into a special project. What I
got is this landscape "Teton Sunrise". It captures various experiences
into one image. So much is reborn into something new, something of my
own. Yet it is an homage to what so many can relate to, whether they
have stood where I stood and looked at these very mountains or whether
they simply dreamed it because it lived inside of them or because they
needed this place to inspire them. This landscape is real yet imaginary
- you decide.
